A photograph of a piece of white paper with black handwritten text, attached to a textured, tan-colored surface. The top of the paper reads in large, capitalized letters, "ALL COLONIZED PEOPLE SEE THEMSELVES IN PALESTINE." Below this, smaller text reads, "They see some aspect of what was done to them in Palestine." The lower section of the paper states in large, capitalized letters, "ALL COLONIZERS SEE THEMSELVES IN ISRAEL." At the bottom right, there is a signature that reads, "Amer Rahman."

Friends of mine are running this amazing project, A(fro)TOPOS: https://afrotopos.com/ (#French and #German; communication in #English is totally fine!) If you'd like to visit, receive news, or if you're an #artist, or a group of #artists, interested in a #residency in #Yaoundé, #Cameroon, or in #Osnabrück, #Germany, drop them a line! The idea is to work #together at a level of #equity, dealing with the deep wounds of #colonialism, filling #spaces yet unknown.

New book on the history of McGill University - written and edited by historians, not the university's comms department. I wrote a chapter on how Indigenous dispossession and colonial politicians saved McGill when it was in danger of going broke. Others cover McGill's ties to chattel slavery, Japanese exclusion, research of various sorts, student lives, queer experiences, and more.

A cream and red book on a desk. It features two black-and-white photos of McGill in the nineteenth-century, one zoomed in and the other in a broad view.

Nomenclature means it's not an empire, right?
